==Overview==
The Giant Bat is a [[Beast Forms|Beast Form]] with the unique ability to fly while effectively fighting enemies, limited only by the flight's power usage.
You can cure Giant Bat form by buying an Un-Bat Juice from [[Harry the Wolf]] for 4500 councils. You can cure Fevered Trismus by using Treat Disease 1, a level 15 [[First Aid]] ability, which requires a basic first aid kit or better to use.
=== Training ===* Levels 51-60 along with 61-70 can be unlocked by talking to [[Yavazek]].* [[Noita the Green]] unlocks 71-80.* The level caps for 71-80 and 81-90 may be unlocked by gaining favor with a mysterious entity deep beneath [[Povus]].
=== In-Game Description ===
Skill in living and fighting as a bat.
=== How to Obtain ===
Another bat player (who must be at least level 8) can repeatedly use Virulent Bite on you for a chance to give the Fevered Trismus disease which will change you into a bat after two hours of logged-in real time. During the Halloween event, one may also be bitten by an enemy bat's rage attack for Fevered Trismus. Finally, enemy bats on the lower levels of the [[Labyrinth]] or [[Gazluk Keep]] dungeons can inflict Fevered Trismus on players.
==== 2023 Special Event ====
Until July 20, 2023, the [[Happy-Go-Lucky Bat]] (normally available only during Halloween) is temporarily located right outside of the north gate of [[Serbule]], by the bridge. He will transform players into a Giant Bat (and back) for free, along with offering training for Giant Bat skills.
This can be used by any character, including newly made ones that just freshly arrived from [[Anagoge Island]]
=== Synergy Levels: ===

:; [[Animal Handling]]
:: Level 46

:; [[Nature Appreciation]]

== Mechanics ==
=== NPC Communication ===
Like with other "creepy" [[Beast Forms|Beast Forms]] such as the [[Lycanthropy|Wolf]] and [[Spider|Spider]], even fewer NPCs will talk to you than to most animals. Additionally, some animals that normally talk to others animals will not talk to the Giant Bat (for example, [[Red]]). Before changing into a bat, it is recommended that you be an experienced player. (Unless you're up for a challenge!) '''Note''': If you were a [[Druid]] before becoming a Giant Bat and sufficiently high level (25 or higher) to transform into a deer (or bird), you can use that to interact with the NPCs who will talk to animals, but not bats.

== Trivia ==
When using Virulent Bite to infect other players, you can see a red particle effect on the infected player. If you are trying but repeatedly failing to infect another player, it may be because their armor is too strong for you to land a hit. In that case, ask them to unequip their armor and then try again.
